It's 5,322,171 infected and approaching 170,000 dead including your aunt (168,256).

1. Yeah, I heard that. Their graphic showed 5.1-million infections.

She just reversed the numbers.

But it sorta shows that these people are news “readers” and not reporters. Any reporter tracking the infection rate would never make that kind of mistake.

2. The actual number is probably closer to 100 million than 5

The CDC and others have said the actual number of infected is vastly higher than confirmed positives. Up to 23 times according to some.

4. True but it sure isn't 1.5m

[BannonsLiver]

5. Yep, if only it was!

3. Since the White House took control of tabulating the numbers......

We really don't know what the actual true numbers are. The only thing we can be sure of is that they are most likely much worse than reported.

7. That'll be the first thing they destroy on Nov. 4th.

He's lucky to have 2-1/2 months to destroy evidence.
